  1. If i'm not wrong then youtube doesn't accept flash files. avi and mpeg files on the other hand are accepted and compressed. Not sure which regional channel you have in youtube and depending on that site rules will apply. Vimeo also has similar rules as per geographical location.I'm not sure low bandwidth users can upload video that easily on these networks but small powerpoint videos are easy to upload.
  2. Myspace is still suitable for musicians and artists. Myspace has music widgets which are better than facebook. You can add music player in myspace which you can't in facebook. But facebook goes with saying, you can add video. But not all things are in video format so what's the point ? It's not that myspace is going to die in next 2 years anytime soon. More and more people still using myspace as promotional place for their music, art and other items. Facebook is good but it gets in the way of personal life and professional life. People are forced to create multiple ID in order to maintain that balance. This is not the case with myspace as it is always professional place to begin with.
  3. If you're asking for file size limit then there is 10mb limit on every extension file. More than that is not enabled on atleast old servers. If my memory serves right then opaque yet to update the specifiction from Xisto - Support and other sites. Memory limit for shared servers is not mentioned anywhere. So when you buy domain or hosting at that time you can support team for that.
  4. There are plenty of small CMS out there i really get confused which to give you first for pointers. So i suggest looking at perch, WolfCMS and PageLime CMS. I have personally used WolfCMS and Perch so i can tell you that these are smallest possible with features. You can also think of some CMS requirement and build from there. For example, consider the requirement of landing page. People want to use landing page for selling things or items or as ad landing page. If you can make simple CMS for that then there is no need to install big CMS like drupal or joomla or wordpress for this. Simple CMS that you develop will be used for landing page. If you can build such targeted small CMS then this will not only help you learn but actually address the needs of people in the market. You don't even have to compete with any other CMS as you're targeting specific audience.
  5. I can create my own wordpress themes by converting HTML layouts to wordpress theme using wordpress tags. Now only thing that i have yet to learn or try is creating options page for the themes. By options i mean anything that allows user to control theme from dashboard setting page. Let's say if i want users to add their own analytics code by giving them text area on page and after they hit submit that tracker should get into wordpress footer code where it can execute and track google analytics as it does. So main question here is how to create options page which allows user to add such code to footer or header ?Another point is that if i want to let user handle the color and typography options from the options page. How to do that ? Any idea how to create options page with wordpress ?
  6. You know what ? If i'm alien and want to land on this planet for some serious work then i'll definitely get scared when ladygaga is anywhere near 1km radius area. Palin, sarkozy and turner are atleast worth to look at unless they open mouth. But lady gaga is just scary human species ya know.
  7. One thing that i would like to tell you. You need to stop reinventing the wheel on some points. Take a look at codes of others and simplify what you think is complex or don't like. This making CMS without looking at other's code or without branching will only make you look feel disappointed after some time because you're starting from scratch and there is very little you are brainstorming without taking feedback. Best solution is make things simple first then get feedback, ask others to join you. You should start from some framework if possible, once you get that framework then you can cut the code and start from scratch if that is what you want.One member -truefusion is on Xisto who has flat file cms made from scratch. Don't know how many times he updates that CMS but it's good for you as pointer.
  8. I mean keyword research when i said google title- you do keyword research right ? If not i suggest you to start doing keyword research if you want to write outside the medical domain. Xomba wants you to bookmark only the pages where you have written article. Don't bookmark articles which are not yours. Xomba has lot of internal traffic and therefore they reduced the word count limit. Usually google expects good content to have 300 words but xomba's internal traffic makes it possible to have a low amount. So don't worry about it, just bookmark your own pages (of your static or blog site).
  9. Drop down menu will be mess but it's not the only way to go things right ? As i said in another thread you can create menu like shown in site - telegraph.co.uk. This menu is not drop down but more of roll over or clickover menu which will create child under parent menu item in horizontal way. This horizontal menu is more structured layout that drop down menu. You don't have to force drop down view on parent child menu items. I hope you get it. There are many menu items styling possible if you can look at the wordpress menus tutorials. Make sure you code those menus correctly because you want to go deep level and keeping the looks good.
  10. Dropdown menu is created only when you add child page to the current parent page. For your default site without any child page it will not create any drop down menu. By the way even K2 will create drop down menu if you add child page to it. Don't just go by the looks, this functionality is in almost every CMS out there. Just because one theme shows you drop down doesn't mean it can't be removed or disabled.For header, i mean that 2010 theme comes up with it's own header which is not related to your site. So while editing you should replace it with your own header. Or you can make it without header to keep things simple for you and readers. You can modify the header by going into the theme directory and then locating 2010 theme and by checking the header image. Replace it with your own or remove the CSS value for image by going into appearance >editor >style.css. You can also modify values for header in CSS files for broad or narrow view.You can add google ads inside wordpress by using advertising manager plugin. It accepts code from many ad networks and suggests you better position for it. But Make sure you place google ad in sidebar in order to earn more. You can change the color of buttons and links by editing the css of the theme. I suggest keeping backup of old theme in case you mess up with things. Do the css editing offline and if you like the effects then upload the css via ftp editor.
  11. LOL. I get it but not completely so here is some for you to think of. You are trying to link your pages only to related ones. Now SEO wise this is worst mistake because you're not linking your important pages from main page menu or other areas. Why ? When search engine wants to index your content for new content where it should look ? on other pages by specifically looking at those or by looking at content pages ? How do you ping search engine ? by manually pinging all those topic pages ?See the mistake you're doing ?You're specifically making design complex when even simple design can solve navigational issue and can be better in terms of SEO and Readers. If i get your design -Home page | page 1 |page 2 | page 3In page 1 view -Home| Page1 |page1 topic | page 1topic 2|page 1 topic 3|This is what you're trying to accomplish and in this there are many SEO aspects are ignored for example linking to other pages and no updates on front page. Instead of this you can make things much easier. Create rollover menus and then when clicked on page 1 parent, it should generate child pages below it, not in drop down fashion but in horizontal menu fashion. This is better styling in my opinion because it preserves other links. You can see site telegraph.co.uk which is having such menu system. In between you have to create custom menu for every page and then feel it up for the child pages. It's going to be a lot complex and with you limited on HTML and CSS and php stuff expect it to take more time than usual static site building. Nonetheless you'll have good results with CMS.Hope that works out for you.
  12. You don't want drop down menu ? that's weird. and you have plenty of pages that are related with your parent page and you want to just populate your menubar with more and more pages ? jeez. worst design thinking ever i came across.Anyway. You can make individual pages diappear by making your menu custom. You can then add only index page and the current page link to that menu. Rest of the pages will not appear on that menu. This is the worst design thinking i ever came across ahsan. You have given a good menu and a perfect navigation method by any CMS and you're altering it for your own navigational assumption? Think about it, your visitors will hate it in the longer run. Keep your navigation linked and related. it's good for SEO and visitors. About index.php- is the main file from which all the elements of the page are called for example.Index.php makes call to your header, sidebar, footer, content. You can manually edit these alternative files and all these will reflect when index page is loaded. This is modular way of working with website. Just like your do with static site only difference here is that it's much better than static pages.
  13. abstract tiles ? hmm. that could be one explanation for this sig. You can get some more inspiration from color lovers site. I found similar tiles- abstract one on color lovers site. They have lot of such abstract stuff and i'm sure they'll enjoy your abstract colors tiles signature image.
  14. Some facts about india if anyone wants to verify can go ahead. Very few indians prefer to pay for online services and they expect everything to be free. Very less donations, purchases from amazon to india are shipped. Not just amazon very few online shops are barely able to keep standing these days. Ebay india removed the promotions and removed affiliate management section from indian division. They're now getting into TV and newspaper ads. Local indian and imported goods perform well. People are aware of low quality products in china and in very rare cases they prefer to invest their time or money on it. There is random market for everything and what and how to predict things about economy is very difficult in comparison to china.Coming to point of war, pakistan attacked india plenty of time and as china and america being ally of pakistan they are not letting india attack back to pakistan for any terrorist activities which are funded by pakistan govt. India's political condition is very poor and one after another scams of policians are coming out. They are even compromising on security of this nation, so i hardly think of india doing any war with any country. They're in same situation like US - being eaten by population, poor politics and public. It's better for both these countries to stop showing off and concentrate on their routine to get back on line.
  15. Nice. I think you should start blogging about your dogs and garden. Forum thread usually gets less attention and readers than blog. I'm sure if you launch dog tips and garden blog, then it will surely help you and will fetch a lot of replies. Image took a time to load for me, but that is because i'm on dialup. You have nice garden there. I miss my old house where i used to spend a lot of time in the garden, birds and pets. Now with these huge cement societies, i kinda find such pics rare around me.
  16. Mono has good performance atleast on ubuntu and there is one team working at ubuntu which helps app compatibility and testing. So if you're getting any app from official repository then chances are it is already tested and working. Most of the compatible apps of mono are already in repository and many people are not even aware of that it's there in the repository of ubuntu.About app outside the universe repo, i think people need to work on their own for that. Because if not supported by distro then you are on your own anyway. That's linux for ya.
  17. 100$/day ? Let's see 1$=45-Rs (Indian currency). 100$=4500RS and as indians work on basis of month(not hour) so total earning is going to be-4500x31=139500 (31 days)4500x30=135000(30 days)139500x12=16,74,000/ RS. Knowing the economy in my country and people earning huge bucks i can safely say that not any MBA grad earns this much money unless that person is in board of directors, marketing or top500 international companies. That person has to be in media, journalism, celeb, business and or in secret services of government. 100$/day is possible without working for someone. By working for someone it's very hard to earn this much amount if the job is not specialized. Trust me those who earn 16,74,000/ RS per year don't join forums, so it's hard to give you specific answer. One thing i can tell you is that hourly earning is always better than monthly. In this country i'm screwed atleast by not getting hourly clients, monthly contracts rip you off with deadlines and idiot clients and seniors.
  18. Weird. I've seen this in your post. You strongly assume there is no chance of existence of aliens. Unless you have some strong reasoning for that, if yes what is that reason ?. What makes you think aliens don't exist at all in this universe ? Any strong reason to justify that. What makes you think life doesn't anywhere than earth ? or you're one of those who thinks - guy who got died on cross helplessly like kitten is going to be our savior and life exists on this planet only ?
  19. Search for simple sidebars plugin on the google. This plugin sets different sidebars on your theme and it allows your page to be different per template or per page. This is very handy if you want different content per page. Theme makes same appearance on all pages, though content can be varied. By the way, why you said template should be different for static site per page ? this is wrong. different page template per page is bad design for users. I mean from the theme point of view. Keep the design consistent and change the content and the layout of new page using sidebar and other widgets. I'm not clear with most of your views so it'll take time to catch up with you. Reply based on my views and i'll see what i can do for you.
  20. Current default theme called 'twenty10' is very basic and by just editing the header you can get very powerful simple static design. You don't any other theme if you just want adsense optimized simple static theme. Twenty10 is fast loading and the typography is also very good which i suggest to those who are new to wordpress. Just make sure you change the header to something related to your own site that will do instead of searching other themes. If you want another theme read on..Other than that there are plenty of good themes for static sites - thematic is one of them. Thematic is simple, white, 2 column theme that you can modify easily to your way in order to get the static feel. Thematic is very powerful theme which is very simple looking like 2010 theme and can let you customize many things for ads. K2 is theme suitable for weblogs but can be modified to look good for static sites. If you want a theme for adsense ads then this one is perfect. I used it on many friends site to get some optimization rolling. How to setup themes ? Simple. Just go to appearance tab and then go to themes menu. One you get to this page you get some preinstalled themes page. You can see the upload link on that page. Use the uploader to upload the themes from your computer to wordpress. If it doesn't work on Xisto due to permission issue (i know servers behave crappy sometimes) then you have to manually add to wp-content/themes directory on your cpanel. Plugins if you need will require to setup using same method like themes only you have to go to plugins page and use the uploader and search functions to search and install plugins. If it fails for asta then manually upload the plugins. For your static site make these changes. Go to your dashboard> settings (which is bottom tab). Go to discussion menu and there uncheck the options for trackbacks, comments and notify other blogs option. This will make your site more static and will not give dynamic updates or ability to comment on your static page.
  21. You don't need to use plugin for this simple thing. Plugins are used to extend the capability of the CMS. In this case, the thing that you want is already possible with wordpress core modules. You just have to go ahead and layout the map by implementing things in your mind. Follow these steps (i hope i understood your question correctly).1. Go to your wordpress dashboard - click pages. 2. Create new pages and name it whatever you want for page1 for your site. 3. Create another page and add it under parent of page 1 if you want to add page which is scrollable in menu under page 1. 4. For new parent page follow the step2 and for child page follow the step 3. You can assign parent pages using the template settings in right hand side under the publish button. This is very simple that you don't have to use any plugin to get this feature to working. Hope this helps to get what you want.
  22. Hubpages restricts you to two links to same domain. So yes hubpages has restriction, i prefer not to link them much in most cases. I give lots of links to friends or other articles but only 2 links to hubpages. Xomba has nofollow link to bookmarking and articles but xomba has a lot of traffic and higher adsense ad value so nofollow attribute hardly matters because we are earning more if traffic comes to our site. You should definitely bookmark your articles from xomba. Make sure you use google titles so that google adsense will pick best ad for you. Twitter definitely helps to get some of the traffic to your articles be it hosted anywhere on xomba or your own site. Make sure you learn how to use hashtag by searching from google. You can also guest post on other blogs and then give links to your own domain from the author box. Use socialadr for bookmarking to multiple social sites from single dashboard. You do have to sign up to individual services first but this place lets you manage it all from single dashboard. Hope that helps for social links.
  23. There are no traces of life on this solar system other than earth. If the aliens are there outside then they are likely to be outside milky way or in some another galaxy's solar system. If they have capability to visit other civilizations, then do you think they'll make visible flight systems ? If they're semi advanced when it comes to galactic travel let's assume then why they'll try to show their plane/pod anyway. they may land on dead-areas or ghost towns and from there they may take shape of humans or will do the observation in hidden mode. I don't see any sane or intelligent species coming on this planet with visible sign only to get frightened with lady gaga and sarah palin and then slamming the door to make noise of their departure. It'll not freak me out if they're here, but i have lot of questions for them. Only people outside this galaxy are going to tell you more secrets of this solar system, galaxy. If there is any watchers type of species visiting this planet then chances are we'll never able to figure out their existence and they'll never help in crisis or even do against or in favor to us. They'll just watch, observe, will store the data and will leave once this planet is doomed. Ah my version of not freaking out theory

    Missing Posts

    New forum upgrade brought this issue for missing posts. We're seeing this issue ever since forums are upgraded to new version. So that is the real problem, there needs to be some bug fix from IPB's side. Not sure how threads are going down but i have seen plenty of my replies not getting there, it's not frequent but once in month it is possible.
  25. I don't want to comment on anything else on your topic other than point of selfishness. Opaque himself cleared this already that everyone here is for mycents and there is nothing wrong with that. So if we're selfish then so he's because we're churning out content for him which is earning so much revenue for him and return getting these low mycent.Don't tell me this forum gets low SE attention and has less traffic. If that is the case then he reduced mycents just because he changed to new domain and saw the traffic lag i guess. Only problem is that old members are not treated fair, they're getting less mycent values than newbies. By helping consistently for peanut mycents what old members are going to get ? karma ? Bull. Hardly anyone comes to solve problems of old and dedicated members, been there and seen that. When old members have problem they can't even use this forum to ask for solution because most of the time it's newbies or people who don't reply are likely to ignore that thread. I don't get mycents from this forum like i used to get few months back. Still wasting my bandwidth and time for other members. For much mycents ? 10-16 post=1$ mycent, 6posts=80 cents to 1 mycent. So how selfish of me ? What i'm going to get in return by wasting my bandwidth? these random 1-10 $ mycents a month ? yeah sure. There needs to be a line drawn where to help and how much to dedicate time to forums. I'm using 2GB dialup connection and loading of this forum takes a lot of time for me, the gallery eats lot of my bandwidth but still i didn't made much fuss like you're doing. After reading this problem from myside i'm sure many other are going to screw me up by uploading many high resolution images, thanks guys in advance for that. I'm not complaining about these annoying pictures eating my bandwidth. Instead i'm joining you and having fun in this worst position, that was so selfish of me of enjoying in bad time. Your threads seems to be doing the job of getting attention from admin and mods so i'm not against it. But whatever, please start threads in section where we earn mycent. Avoid spamming, i don't want anyone getting banned from this forum especially one who is entertaining this forum in one way or the other.
